help finding Weinblatt passenger records #usa
|
I hope someone here can help find passenger records for my Weinblatt ancestors. I've been researching this branch of my family for years and, though I've had some important breakthroughs leading to discovering long-lost cousins, I haven't managed to locate any records for their arrival or anything else indicating where they lived before emigrating with more detail than "Russia." I have seen some remarkably generous research assistance offered via this list and hope someone can do the same in this case. I appreciate any help identifying my family's origins.
Basic information: My great-great grandparents and their 8 children reported arriving (more or less consistently) in 1888. parents: Charles Louis Weinblatt (1851-1927) and Fannie Malamud (1850-1915) children: Ida Weinblatt Singer (1869-1954), Max Weinblatt (1871-bef 1930), Tillie Weinblatt Schwartz (1874-1933), Dora Weinblatt Belikove (1875-1918), Louis Weinblatt (1881-1968), Jacob "Jack" Weinblatt (1883- ?), Mary Weinblatt Silverstone (1885-1980), Isaac Weinblatt (1886- ?) I have a public tree with everything I've managed to find at https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/174064041/person/312255348358/facts Details and caveats: The first records I've found for any family members are the 1893 NYC marriage certificates for son Max to Rose Duchowney and daughter Tillie to Joseph Schwarzman (my great-grandparents). Daughter Ida and husband Isaac Singer appear in the 1895 NJ State census. I have found some of Max's naturalization paperwork but it doesn't provide any details about his arrival. I have found the naturalization application for Ida's husband Isaac, but it also doesn't include any helpful details. Otherwise, I have only 2nd hand reports of arrival – usually 1888 – and a confusing range of dates about naturalization status. The family seems to have settled in Brooklyn, NY and Perth Amboy, NJ. Fannie is buried in Acacia Cemetery in Ozone Par, Queens, NY. Most of the graves I've managed to locate are in Perth Amboy's Beth Mordecai/Hebrew Progressive Cemetery. I believe that the youngest son Isaac (b. 1886) died between 1900, when he appeared in the US census, and 1905, when his missing from the 1905 NY State census which includes his parents and 2 older siblings. Charles most often used the name Louis in public records (census rolls and as rabbi/officiant in NYC marriages). Max's marriage certificate records his father's name as Levy Weinblot and Tillie's says her father's name was Hemen (?) Weinblot. His gravestone inscription reads "Charles L. Weinblott." Interesting (to me at least) is that the Hebrew inscription reads "Hayim Yehudah ben Menashe" while the inscriptions on two of his daughters' graves read "... bat Hayim Leib." Note: There is a Manhattan attorney named Charles Weinblatt who is a different person. Thank you, Lee David Jaffe |

found a wonderful book Migration from the Russian Empire edited by Ira D. Glazier, vol. 4 (1888)and searched its index with no help But because I knew the had come in March I searched for a family with more than four Children from March31 back on the list of passengers listed by date, ship, name and age. I found them all listed under another similar name. You may want to locate this book at a large public and/ or university library. Check eBay because you can sometimes find it for about $30. Good luck. Diane Jacobs On Oct 8, 2022, at 8:03 PM, Lee Jaffe <leejaffe54@...> wrote:

Familysearch.org has more records for the 1890 NYC Police Census than does Ancestry. Each individual is listed separately but a check of all Weinblatts in NYC on that census shows all of the family members except Ida and Isaac listed in vol. 231, p. 129. In addition, there is a child Rose age 3 listed as well. Louis is listed as Hyman; otherwise the names match.
I had no luck finding a ship's manifest for any of the US ports. Johanna Becker Newport, RI |

Migration from the Russian EmpireThanks for the heads-up about this title. I discovered that Vol 2., Oct 1882-Apr 1886 is available in full text through the Internet Archive for a 1-hour borrowing period to registered users (free). It isn't useful for my immediate needs but I thought others might want to know about this. https://archive.org/details/migrationfromrus0002unse -- Lee Jaffe |

I forgot to mention that all 10 family members – 2 parents and 8 children – are included in the 1900 US census. The parents (under the names Louis and Fanny Weinblatt) and the 4 youngest children were in Brooklyn and the 4 older children living with spouses and American-born children in their own households in Brooklyn (Mary) and Perth Amboy (Max, Dora, and Tillie).
Also, I thought it might be useful to share the article – the 1918 death notice for Mrs. Samuel Belikove – which provided my first big breakthrough in discovering the wider Weinblatt family. Note that there is no mention of neither a mother (Fannie had passed away in 1915) or a brother Isaac (who can't be found in any records after 1900). Again, thanks for any help or pointers you can share. Feel free to respond to me privately as appropriate. Lee Jaffe
